DES LARZES PARTY ENJOYS
MOTOR TRIP TO SEQUOIA
PARK, HIGH UP IN SIERRAS
FOOTPRINTS OF PIONEER DAYS
COUNTRY PEOPLE CLAIM
YARDS AS PRETTY AND
CLEAN AS THOSE IN CITY
A trip to Sequoia national
park was one of the interesting
side trips mado by the DesLarzes
party which left hero two yeeks
to motor to California. Leon
Deslmrzes writes the following
to R. 8. Trask concerning the
trip: “When we saw the great
wall of tho Sierras towering 2*2
miles high we could not resist
the temptation to come up here
for a few days. The road is fine,
We drovo to an elevation of
2800 feet and the weather is
like June iu Oregon. Boy and I
hiked 25 miles yesterday, about
6 miles being as steep as the
roof of a house. We visited the
General Bhermau tree (the larg
est in the world) and saw hun
dreds of others almost as grand.
We had to lie down on our backs
to see the tops of them; thus we
studied the trees and rested our
legs at the same time. Wo were
entertained by the forester in
charge of the Big Tree camp and
got a mill lunch iu his lodge.
Returning we ascended Moro
rock, ta^huge granite half dome
standing 68UG feet high. From
its top wo looked almost directly
dow< upon our home tent 4000
foot below. A half circle of snow
peaks—like a thousand Mt.
Hoods massed together—cut off
the eastern view. Northward
stretched away the great forest
Of Bequoias and at our feet the
river flowing westward through
its valley among the oak-clad
foothills. There can be no finer
view iu the world. The whole
park is very beautiful, the'sky
almost as blue us Crater lake.”

Owners of country places say
that residents of the city need
not take all the honor for having
pretty homes. "You’ll find our
wood piled in the back yard
rather than on the parking and
you won’t find as mueh rubbish
nor as many old boxes piled
about our places as you will on
many of the city places,” the
owner of one country place stat
ed. “I have seen things in your
alleys, even within the past few
days, that would make some of
us country folks
................................
ashamed, A
pretty store window attracts you
but if you go to the rear of the
store you are likely to find old
boxes filled with old papers and
debris piled iu a rickety Bhed,
or wood scattered about a muddy
woodyard. Come out to the
country, where the air is purer,
where our back yards are as
clean as our front yards, where
there is less hypocrisy, less de
ceit and much more happiness.”
The budget of proposed expendi
tures for the next school year which
will be pu.t up to the voters of the
district will show an increase of
$2178 over tho budget for this
year’s expenditures. It is not cer
tain whether this will mean an in
crease in the millage, as it is pos
sible that the assessed valuation of
the district muy have increased dur
ing the past year to such an ex
tent us to raise the extra amount
without adding to the millage.
The growth of the school district
is indicated by tho fuet thut ul-
$ though no new courses will be
added, two additional teachers in
the grades are necessary and re
pairs must be made to tho old high
school building to put it in such
sehool
shape that additional classes can
be held there.
A new roof is proposed for the
west side building and an item has
been put into the budget for up-
keep of the lawn at the high school.
Bonds to the amount of $2500 will
be redeemed. The amount of this
item put into the budget last year
was $1500, but the budget meeting
voted to use for this purpose an
additional amount of $2500 left in
the unexpended balance of the
amount raised tho yeur before.
The total amount estimated for
teachers’ salaries for the coming
yeur is $32,055. Other items budget
ed may be found in the official
publication elsewhere in this issue.
J
The total amount to be raised by
direct taxation is $23,308. With re
ceipts from other sources, the total
amount that will be necessary for
school purposes is estimated ut $12,-
761.

held upon the evening of April 30.

SACRAMENTO PEOPLE AND
WEATHER ARE NOT LIKED
BY EDDYS; BACK TO STAY
Sacramento is on a drunk and
hard times prevail throughout
the city, according to J. W. Ed-
dy who, with Mrs. Eddy and
son Voluey, returned this week
from spending three months in
the southern city, The Eddys
went to Sacramento the first of
the year to locate but were so
dissatisfied with the weather and
the people that they returned to
Cottage Grove to make their
home. Upon their arrival at Sac
ramento the Eddys suffered from
the cold, damp, penetrating fog.
About the middle of February
the fog let up and sunshine and
north winds set in, during which
time the Cottage Grove people
suffered two weeks of the most
oppressively hot weather they
had ever seen. The higher lands
are practically burned up al
ready and the crop now being
harvested will be about half the
average crop. In the lowlands
the crops are now maturing and
the gram is heading out at from
8 to 12 inches in height.
Practically everyone drinks in
Sacramento, men and women
alike, and one never gets away
from the smell of liquor, ac
cording to Mr. Eddy.
NUMBER 30
Many places about Cottage Grove
come in for criticism in tho clean
up program of the Civic club, these
places being pointed out by the
judges who last week picked out
the best kept yards of the city.
Some of the places most needing
to be cleaned up arc in the main
business district uud along the routo
of the highway through tlie city,
from which tourists on their way
north and south get their impres
sion of the city and its occupants.
Numerous barns, wood and lumber
piles and stacks of cans and other
rubbish are included in tho list of
things which offend, only a few of
which can be mentioned. Back of
the cannery piles of old cans pre
sent an ugly sight to the eye, ac
cording to tho report of the club.
Boards, wall paper and other un
sightly rubbish litter the ward
back of the old building on the
highway at the northeast corner of
Ninth and Main.
Three unfinished houses in Cooper
addition contribute to make ,the
city look unprosperous, according to
members of the club, who also dis-
liko the appearance of a stack of
old iron back of the blacksmith
shop on Seventh street, The lot
just south of tho city hall on Sixth
street is also filled with old pieces
of iron and junk scattered about.
Piles of old machinery stacked on
the parking and sidew.alks south on
Seventh street, between Main street
and Washington avenue, not only
are an eyesore but a nuisance and
hindrance to people who travel the
walk. Ashes and rubbish of an in
flammable nature stand on other
vacant lots and in alleys, one of
numerous places mentioned being
the vacant lot on Whiteaker avenue
between Eighth and Ninth streets.
The vacant lots used for emptying
trash by various business firms are
dangerous as well as ugly to look
upon because of the boxes, excelsior
and paper stacked upon them.
Along the old Pacific highway
south there are many old and dil
apidated buildings on the edge of
the river bank and across the street.
MRS. EMMA BREWER DEAD;
LIVED HERE MANY YEARS
The funeral of Mrs. Emma Lewis
Brewer, who died Friday in Port
land, was held here Sunday. Rev.
J. E. Carlson conducted the service
from the Mills chapel at 2:30 in
the afternoon. Interment was in the
Masonic cemetery.
Mrs. Brewer was born in Indiana,
December 3, 1869. She is survived
by her husband and three daugh
ters, Mrs. Elsie Spray of Portland,
Mrs. Myrtle Miller of Grants Pass
and Mrs. Stella Marquham of Port
land. A son was drowned in the
Coast fork river here several years
ago. The Brewers lived in Cottage
Grove for 20 years before going to
Portland.
UNION OIL WILL LOCATE
DISTRIBUTING PLANT HERE
The growing importance of Cot
tage Grove as a distributing point
is further illustrated by the fact
that the Union Oil eompny has def
initely decided to establish a ata
tion here and already has closed a
deal for the J. I. Jones property
on Pacific highway south of Quincy
avenue. This is the old fair grounds
property. Work on construction of

THE OREGON LEGISLATURE
Sidelights on Most Recent Session by One Who Was on the Job Down There
By ELBERT BEDE.
IX.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS.
Many of the terms used in con
nection with a legislative assembly
are familiar and many of them arc
understood by a largo number of
the people, but tho requests for ex
planations have been so numerous
that I feel that an explanation of
some of the most common is justi
fied.
• • •
Logrolling— -This
'
term has no re
lation to tnat
st other term, the leg
islative mill, ', i nor is it peculiar to
a state in which the lumber busi
ness is a prominent industry.
Years ago the university and ag
ricultnral college had to go to the
legislature for nil the money re-
ceived for their support from the
state. A legislator from I-ane coun
ty who could not land the university
appropriations was considered nn in
efficient member. A Ijine county
member would not vote favorably
upon any other piece of legislation
unless the author of the other legis
lation promised to vote favorably
upon tho university appropriations.
It was said upon the floor of the
house at the most recent session
that in those days no piece of legis
lation could be enacted until it had
the approval of the president of
the agricultural college. That is
log rolling. In plainer language it
is merely trading votes. I heard
several members of the most recent
session say that there is practically
no log rolling now but there is no
doubt that in tho days that have
gone many pieces of pernicious leg
islation were put over by this meth
od and many good ones saved.
• • •
Jokers—A joker in a bill is a use
of language that pretends to ac
complish one thing but in reality
accomplishes another. Most jokers
are unintentional but often have
been made use of to fool legislators
into enacting laws that they would

For 55 minutes the two men

was plain that tho two men wore
almost equally matched, although
Hand maintained the uppermost po-

availed nothing, Every moment
was a tense one. It appeared that
tho match might _ go for tho full
two hours without a full. Thon in
a careless moment on tho part of
Barnes, a fraction of a second only
it seemed, he left himself in a po

for which he had been watching.
In that fraction of a second Hand
had grabbed a deadly toe hold and
so quickly did he apply it that be

had suffered injuries that would
have made him an easy victim for

to go on with the match, as he de

A conspicuous example of the joker

COUNCIL WILL TAKE MEASURES
TO CLEAN UP CITY
Ordinances Regarding Wood on Side
walks and Debris in Streets and
Alleys to Be Enforced.
The city council is endeavoring
to givo tho civic improvement club
every possible assistance in making
a cleaner, prettier and better city,
but it is surprising how little coo-
eration is given by some of the
citizens, who ignore all suggestions
that piles of rubbish bo burned and
that piles of wood and debris bo re
moved from parkings and sidewalks.
The council has been slow to threat
en to bring such citizens to time
under the provisions of ordinances
which prohibit these thingB, but
compluints from citizons about hav
ing to walk through tunnels of
wood in using tho city’s sidowalkH
or having to pass piles of rubbish
or foul-smelling barns have been so
numerous that action will have to
bo takeu|. Members of tho council
feel that sufficient warning has
been given and that any who got
into police court for failuro to obey
their own laws will have none but
themselves to blamo.
The uso of parkings and of the
streets for storing wood for weeks
and months has become so common
that the council contemplates re
lieving the situation by charging a
fee for such uso of city property
and also contemplates making it a
violation of law to do these things
without a written permit from the
city. If it is necessary to use
streets and parkings this way, such
something and the city should col
lect n rental. That is tho opinion
of several members of the council.
